>Hi Richie,The easiest way is to use a detail gouge, rotated on its side, the bevel rubbing on the wood where you want to make a cut. The cut should occur right on the centerline of the work.
Sorry , no photos, but the resulting cut will be smooth enough that little or no sanding is needed.
It is also possible to take the same tool, and starting at the stem, make a shearing cut outward toward the muchroom cap. The tool bevel will be held at 45 degrees or so. The cut will not be as clean this way, however.
